The Jacksonville Jaguars made it clear late in the 2026 NFL Draft: they are committed to building one of the most dynamic passing attacks in the league.
Already featuring a deep group that includes Travis Hunter, Brian Thomas Jr., Jakobi Meyers and Parker Washington, Jacksonville doubled down by selecting two wide receivers in the sixth round: Josh Cameron and CJ Williams.
The moves reflect a broader strategy to overwhelm defenses with depth, versatility and competition across the board. With Trevor Lawrence as their quarterback who still has something to prove to himself and the league, the Jags are ready to compete next season.
Production and special teams value first
Cameron, taken at No. 191 overall after the Jaguars traded up with the New England Patriots, brings production and special teams value. The former Baylor Bears standout finished his college career with 170 receptions for 2,236 yards and 19 touchdowns, including back-to-back strong seasons in 2024 and 2025.
At 6-foot-1 and 200 pounds, Cameron profiles as a reliable target who can contribute in multiple phases. His experience as a punt returner, averaging 14.0 yards on 45 career returns, gives him an additional path to early playing time. Jacksonville clearly valued that versatility enough to move up and secure him.
The Jaguars didn’t wait long to add another piece
Just 12 picks later, they selected Williams at No. 203 overall. The former Stanford Cardinal receiver brings a different background, having played at multiple programs, including stops at Wisconsin Badgers and USC Trojans, before finishing his career at Stanford.
Williams‘ most productive season came in 2025, when he recorded 59 receptions for 749 yards and six touchdowns, earning honorable mention All-ACC honors. At 6 foot and 203 pounds, he offers a physical presence and the ability to operate across different spots in the offense.
The additions are about more than just depth
The Jaguars are building an offense that can adapt week to week, using different skill sets to create mismatches. Hunter‘s versatility, Thomas‘ explosiveness, Meyers‘ reliability and Washington‘s growth already give the team a strong foundation.
Adding Cameron and Williams introduces two more players capable of contributing in specific roles while developing into larger ones. It also creates internal competition, something teams often prioritize when trying to elevate overall performance.
Sixth-round picks are rarely expected to transform an offense immediately, but they can provide value in complementary roles, special teams and situational packages. Both Cameron and Williams fit that mold, with enough upside to potentially exceed expectations.
